We visited the Belize Zoo. In 1982 a lady came here to do a documentary about some injured animals in a rehab and when she found out there wasn't a zoo in Belize...she started this one. It is unique as you feel like you are walking through the jungle with only wire fences & one strand of electric fence separating you from puma, jaguar, black leopard, ocelots, tapirs, howler & spider monkeys, harpy owls, peccaries, jabiru storks, coatimundi, jaguarundi, kinkajou, scarlet macaw and a variety of other animals. Several other animals sneak in and freely join the ones behind fences ...sometimes on the same walk way we were on.
